The Moon In Darkness
Ch.48 Plan (3)

An returned to where he was supposed to guard in a limp, he then saw the stall that was originally quiet when abandoned immediately became crowded with buyers, seen the seller's aunt with the spirit of serving her customers.

As she approached, the aunt rounded her eyes, shocked to see An being ganged up, "what happened to you?! why are your clothes full of blood and torn!?" panicked shouting.

"i'm good bi, rather than that shouldn't you be serving your buyers before compared to me?" An whispered softly, still holding onto the wound that was on his stomach.

The seller's aunt then asked An to lean against the wall and gave him a cloth to cover herself, "wait here, I'll be right back," the aunt said, he immediately served the buyers as quickly as he could and occasionally glanced at An who was still panting.

"Hu.. embarrassed me if it hurts just because of a small wound." murmured An stared blankly at the aunt who was serving the buyer. He then confirmed the position of his body and cultivated in order to heal the energy he was using, as well as to forget for a moment the small wound on his stomach.

It had been ten minutes since An started training, during practice he had not heard any sound or felt anything. It was like standing in an empty enclosed space with no life at all.

As far as An's eyes could see, there was only a terrible darkness, as if it could pounce on him alive. He continued to walk by occasionally shouting to find life around him, before An saw a large crystal that could not be measured with the eyes.

The dark purple crystal that was so beautiful and terrifying, within the crystal, he could see someone was there, curled up, alone, with no life other than himself.

A long black haired woman, An approached the crystal, when it was very close she stretched out her arm and touched the large crystal.

When An touched her a crack appeared, and made the girl inside the crystal wake up and opened her eyes, the exact same dark purple eyes as the crystal that had locked the girl away.

An froze when his eyes met the girl's eyes, An's body suddenly stiffened and cold sweat flowed all over him, "that's. me?"

The empty room immediately broke, and An's head began to experience tremendous pain, his chest tight, difficult to breathe even though chi assisted though. He closed his eyes and continued muttering for help, something that could help him get out of there.

"..am!"

"SIR!!" The seller's aunt's shout trembled, her face pale and sweat pouring down her face. He held onto An's body firmly while occasionally wiping away the sweat that was all over the girl's body.

"what..why?!" exclaimed An surprised because the old woman was already beside him.

what was that?' an Inner recalled the dream he had experienced.

"You can make this old lady have a heart attack! why did you suddenly scream like that? your whole body feels cold as a corpse!" obviously the seller's aunt was upset, so she went from there and went to get something in the corner.

"this! quickly change your clothes in the alley there! I don't want to linger long dealing with you!" he said while memapah An whose consciousness has not been balanced.

The woman gave him a change of clothes as well as a robe, along with the rest of the money he used. When he reached the silent alley, An had regained his consciousness, he felt his stomach still a little sore, "I have to finish this and sleep!" muttered An while changing clothes.

While changing his clothes, he tore off his old robe and tied it to a wound on his stomach.10 minutes passed since he started changing clothes, now he looked more presentable with formal attire and a slightly more luxurious robe like the nobles used.

An then wiped the splash of blood that was in his fox mask and put it back on, he then came out of the alley to the aunt of the seller who had helped him.

"i hope you have a better job." whispered An as he gave me a small bag of dang, the rest of the clothes he had bought.

The woman looked at the bag of money she had been holding, her eyes glazed over and finally cried as she pleased, "You.. Thank you, you are truly an angel! Thank you sir!" exclaimed the woman with a respectful bow.

angels huh?' an Inner was a little uncomfortable with that call.

The girl simply nodded, having obtained two pawns, she intended to leave from there. He turned back to ask the seller something.

Now An is walking towards the center of the black market, where it becomes the most popular spot for fun-loving criminals. The place that had everything, somehow they created this place, was amazing.

"market center, adjacent to the auction of dolls.. Huh, why is the name of the store here strange? but well, meet." muttered An standing in front of a dreary antique shop, without any signage.

"i love the theme." he praised when he saw the shop paint that was faded black but looked very sturdy, in accordance with the antique-themed shop.

Entering the shop, the sound of the door bells rang as he entered. His eyes were fixed on the goods in the store, ranging from items he had never seen, arrows, daggers, axes, even swords were there.

The girl approached the cashier's desk, seen an old man cleaning an axe glancing at her and ignoring her again.

what is his attitude?'

"excuse me, is this here selling explosive spells?" said An politely, but he remained ignored by the shopkeeper.

damn it, if it wasn't for the aunt saying it was a good place, I'd be out of here.' An clasped his fingers firmly, restraining the anger that was about to explode.

"don't look at me like that, wait for me to finish cleaning up and I'll get you your stuff" said the grandfather, still busy cleaning his axe.

An did not reply to the words, he turned around and walked to see the contents of the store. There were only weapons there, some spell paper, and magic equipment of course.

already 15 minutes passed, An had finished looking at all the items in the store. His emotions now peaked, he then approached the cashier's table again to bully his shopkeeper.

The girl undoes her intentions when she sees the cashier table on which there are three kinds of explosive spells available, from some of the spell papers, An sees a small card that can be inserted into a shirt bag.

"is this also explosive?" ask An by taking the card.

"you asked for explosives, right? that's what you got. It'll be useful, depending on how you use it." obviously the old man was still busy cleaning his axe.

"how much is this?" ask An again.

"one card 5 dang."

"i'll take 10." said An, taking 50 dang out of his palm.

After paying for the card, he got out of there and intended to go home. Accidentally, An turned to the guard of the auction venue who looked very luxurious beside him, seeing the faint aura he was familiar with, An decided to enter the auction.

He was at the guest table, where a beautiful woman was serving the people who entered, now it was his turn to inform his affairs there.

"welcome to the doll auction, is there anything I can help you with?" greet the woman is polite.

"let's just tell him that the partner he loves is here." The girl smiled brightly.

The woman nodded and left An for a while to head for their master's room, waiting as she tapped her finger at the table. Fortunately it was already quiet since the auction had begun, no guests were coming now.

Before long, the woman returned in a hurry, sweat pouring out of her body. Still with his hunting breath, he tells An to follow him towards the second floor.

Unlike the first meeting, the woman did not see An's eyes at all when talking to him, as if maintaining an attitude so as not to make mistakes.

"indeed yes. power is different." murmured An with a fading smile, he again put a cold face and plump on anyone he met.

When she got to the front of a door, the lady knocked on her door politely, "Master.I brought your guest,"

"get in!" there was a heavy voice of a man behind the door, the woman then opened the door and invited An to enter.

The room he entered was very simple and antique, a lot of jars and paintings there, the wide room did not look as striking as other rooms. Also on the table are plenty of snacks and drinks.

"i'm surprised to you, it's too simple for an old bachelor." ledek An is still at the door.

"just get in, you son of a bitch!" The old man then told his female servant to leave immediately from there.

An entered the old man's room, he sat down and sipped a tea lemon on the table, "I didn't expect you to still employ a living human being" he said.

"you think I'm a pathetic human being who doesn't need anyone else?" sahut the grandfather and even got a firm nod from An.

"i wonder who is the host here?" said the grandfather leaning on his sofa.

"so, what makes you bother to come here?" ask the man without needing to be stale.

"i want you to make me two dolls. Oh yeah, can you see his memory? maybe about a week?" pinta An, he then extended his hand towards the man and gave him the two corpses he had captured.

The man looked a little shocked to see two dead bodies arrive in front of him, hesitantly asking An, "where did you get this?"

"slave shop." An replied casually as he ate the prepared dishes.

The grandfather sighed and massaged his forehead, "i know you're crazy, but it turns out to be so bad huh?" he chuckles happily.

The man happily approached the two corpses on the floor and examined the wounds, "you stabbed them many times?"

"i don't care, can you do it or not?" assertive An as if he does not want to be blamed if the goods look unsatisfactory.

"of course, but I couldn't see the memory of having been dead for more than a day." the old man began to undress the two corpses to sew.

"who said? I just caught him two hours ago, and again..Are you not aware of anything?"

"he? that's insane! ahaha!" the man laughed loudly, whether his laughter could be heard by others or not.

"well, I'll give you a 60% cut for giving me a rare item. It's rare that I can dissect a lowly demon body, right?" the old man grinned, his killing aura fleeting out for a while.

Then, An tells about his plan that wants to make a big explosion in the slave shop at the old grandfather. He also said he wanted to take some proof of the transaction between the seller and the buyer who was there.

"alright.but why do you want to do it?" asked the man still did not understand his way of thinking, he knew that An hated slavery, but if it involved everyone involved? that's crazy, that's crazy.

"secret." said An briefly, his evil smile came out when the answer was thrown from his mouth.

Of course An would not tell if he wanted his aunt to be caught by the Empire, to eliminate the vigilance against her who was a new family, An intended to plunge all the nobles who had been involved with this slavery.

The girl did plan to drag everyone who had transacted there, even though they had done so for a long time. However, there was something that made him think of after looking back at one of the corpses he had brought.

"oh shit..what am I supposed to do?" muttered An when he saw Arum lying there. It was as if he had heard the voice of the guard, who would have thought that it was his own servant.

Even though he had often killed people, was it because Arum was the one who always stuck with him, so there was a little guilt implied? An's face instantly turned deathly pale.

"why you? exhausted?" reprimand the grandfather on the sidelines of the chat.

"well, I guess." answered An limply, he then stood up and was about to leave, before leaving, before leaving, An reached out his hand once more and took out some antiques he got from his old home library.

The old grandfather's eyes suddenly widened, he could not hide his love for antiques.

"that's the down payment for my doll, I want the doll done before sunrise. I'll send you a letter to tell you the next plan." explained An and went straight through the window.

After An left, the old man smacked his forehead and muttered, "ah. I forgot to tell him, if the silver girl always asks him."
